A field experiment was conducted medium black calcareous soil of Agronomy Farm, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh during rabi season of 2012–13 to investigated effect of varying levels of organic manures and bio fertilizers on nutrient content and uptake of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.). Sixteen treatment combinations consisting of three levels each of organic manures along with recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF 20-10-0 N-P-K, FYM @ 5.0 t ha-1, vermicompost @) 1.0 t/ha, and caster cake @ 0.5 t ha-1) and four treatments of bio fertilizer (no inoculation, Azotobactor @ 10 ml kg-1 seed, PSB @ 10 ml kg-1 seed inoculation and Azotobactor + PSB @ 10 mlkg-1 seed.) making sixteen treatment combinations tested in factorial randomized block design with three replications. Results indicated that application of recommended dose of fertilizer significantly highest nitrogen, phosphorus, potash content and uptake in seed and straw. Inoculation with Azotobactor + PSB @ 10 ml kg-1, gave significantly higher nitrogen content in seed (3.31%), phosphorus content in seed (0.30%), potash content in seed (0.62%), levels of bio-fertilizer did not exert their significant effect on nitrogen content in straw, significantly the highest potash content in straw (0.50%), nitrogen uptake by seed (34.82 kg/ha) levels of bio-fertilizer did not exert their significant effect on phosphorus uptake by seed, highest potash uptake by seed (6.42 kg/ha) levels of bio-fertilizer did not exert their significant effect on nitrogen uptake by straw. highest phosphorus uptake by straw (5.22 kg/ha), potash uptake by straw (8.14 kg/ha), highest nitrogen uptake by plant (55.71 kg/ha), phosphorus uptake by plant (12.22kg/ha), potash uptake by plant (19.97 kg/ha) over no inoculation.
